Peritoneal Macrophages Induce RANTES (Regulated on Activation, Normal T Cell Expressed and Secreted) Chemokine Gene Transcription in Endometrial Stromal Cells
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2003-031010

Peritoneal fluid macrophages (PFM) are activated in women with endometriosis, in whom they are thought to mediate or exacerbate inflammation. The effect of PFM on endometrial stromal cells (ESC) was studied using a coculture model to evalua…

article 2003
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ ligand inhibition of RANTES production by human endometriotic stromal cells is mediated through an upstream promoter element
Fertility and Sterility ·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(03)00600-9
article 2003
Thiazolidinedione Inhibition of Peritoneal Inflammation
Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000068952

Chemoattraction of macrophages into the peritoneal cavity is one of the important characteristics in patients with endometriosis. An inflammatory response is postulated to be responsible for infertility and pelvic pain associated with this …

AhR activation stimulates chemokine production in an in vitro model of endometriosis
·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(01)03035-7
article 2002
Dioxin stimulates RANTES expression in an in-vitro model of endometriosis
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/8.9.849

The industrial contaminant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is associated with inflammatory disorders in women and other mammals. The current studies were performed to investigate the effect of TCDD on RANTES expression in an in-v…

Murine model of monocytic peritonitis: are glycodelin or thiazolidinedione new options in the treatment of endometriosis?
·doi:10.1016/s0015-0282(01)03020-5
article 2002
Thiazolidinediones, Agonisten des PPAR-γ-Rezeptors (peroxisomaler proliferatoraktivierter Rezeptor) reduzieren die peritoneale Makrophagenanzahl - Neue medikamentöse Therapieoptionen für die Inflammation und Infertilität bei Endometriose? -
·doi:10.1055/s-2002-33892

Die Migration von Makrophagen in die Peritonealhöhle ist ein wesentlicher pathophysiologischer Faktor der Endometriose. Frühere Daten aus unserem Labor deuteten darauf hin, dass RANTES (Regulated on Activation, Normal T cell Expressed and S…

article 2000
Induction of an angiogenic phenotype in endometriotic stromal cell cultures by interleukin-1 
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/6.3.269

Activated peritoneal macrophages are associated with endometriosis and may play a central role in its aetiology by releasing interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) in response to refluxed endometrium. Pari passu with the establishment of endometrioti…

article 1997
Immunolocalization and Regulation of the Chemokine RANTES in Human Endometrial and Endometriosis Tissues and Cells1
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jcem.82.5.3919

Retrograde menstruation is postulated as the initiating event in the histogenesis of endometriosis; however, subsequent steps in the pathogenesis of this common disorder remain poorly characterized. The ip accumulation of activated leukocyt…
